Over the years, Fytogreen has installed flourishing vertical gardens in all sorts of shapes and sizes. In fact, we’re well known as the industry leaders in sustainable residential green walls.
Our hand-made planters are designed to use the micro fibres in the felt so that all the plants are watered equally. This amazing material provides a safe growing medium that is pH neutral and non-reactive, so you can garden organically right on your wall. Roots grow right into the felt, which comes alive thanks to the microbiology in the soil.
Our planters come with our custom Root-Wrapping system. This lets you change and re-arrange your living wall at will.
Design Considerations for your residential green wall
INDOOR LIGHTING
Existing room light provides the minimal illumination for growing plants so you’ll want to add a track lighting system. You can position metal halide lights or LED growing lights with the light washing down the living wall. This is still considered a low light planting location, so plan on low light indoor tropical plants that are native to the forest floor.
NATURAL LIGHT
Bright indirect light across from a bank of windows is an indoor tropical favourite. They will reach to the light and align their leaves to the source, making a perfect display. Direct light may cause burning, but if it is limited to a few hours a day it should be fine.
OUTDOORS
A sunny deck with full day sun is perfect for growing herbs and vegetables, flowers and succulents. Partial sun is great for lettuce or ferns and most other plants. A shady wall is good for ferns.
MOISTURE
FytoFelt planters are intended for water-safe areas. Generally water will remain within the pockets but there is always the possibility that water can drip from the leaves, or roots may direct water outside of the pockets during water cycling periods. If you intend to use the unit indoors on wood floors or carpeting, use extra caution and observe the unit during the watering cycle. Use common sense when placing the unit and clean up occasional plant mess or moisture leakage.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
A thriving vertical garden requires love, as well as watering several times a day. Fytogreen recommend an automatic watering system to ensure a healthy, lush vertical garden.
CHILDREN AND PETS
All gardens are at risk to the terrors of youth and fauna. Use caution, as some plants are toxic and must be selected carefully. FytoFelt can be damaged by claws, teeth, and beaks. Use common sense and be selective about placement.
Irrigation and Fertigation
AUTOMATIC WATERING
Fytogreen recommend adding a digital hose timer to a nearby tap. Use a hose splitter, ensuring your vertical garden is always connected to an available water source or use the soaker hose and connect to your existing irrigation system.
HAND WATERING
FytoFelt vertical garden planters can be watered by hand daily, although they do require multiple waterings per day.
Due to this reason, Fytogreen recommend an automatic watering
